Tag: Waterproof patches

According to manufacturers and user reports, patches designed for type 1 diabetes devices—often colloquially called "type one style patches" or named after the brand Type One Style—are indeed manufactured to be waterproof and sweatproof. These adhesive overlays help secure continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pump sites, allowing users to shower, swim, and exercise without dislodging their crucial medical equipment.

While marketed as water-resistant for light activities and showers, getting The Good Patch thoroughly wet can compromise its adhesive, potentially reducing the patch's lifespan and effectiveness. Understanding this distinction is key to ensuring you get the full benefit from your wearable wellness patch.
